My new Let’s Play channel

What's up, gamers. T1meslayer here with a channel update for all y'all. A few months ago I launched a series of toy unboxing videos with my sister that has gone on to achieve great acclaim. That first video has almost 100 views, and that not-LEGO Mimikyu was a star in my class' Dungeons and Dragons campaign. …

A pre-preparation of rites

Like I mentioned in my post showing off the character sketches from my novel-in-progress, this Friday I will be presenting my Senior Honors Project at the Honors Project Interdisciplinary Conference.

Considering I barely have any experience outside of one character …

Last night I spent St. Patrick's Day in Fullerton celebrating with my friend Mimi and a few of her people. Even dragged my friend Juan out there with …
